As Operation Gideon’s Chariots II continues, the IDF on Wednesday released footage showing Hamas terrorists opening heavy fire from the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City against forces. The military described the use of a civilian structure—especially an active hospital—as further proof of the terror group’s cynical and consistent tactic of turning civilian infrastructure into manned terror hubs.

“By doing so, Hamas knowingly endangers the lives of patients, medical staff and innocent civilians in the Strip,” the spokesperson said, adding, “The IDF will continue to operate resolutely to thwart terrorist activity, while adhering to international law and mitigating harm to civilians.”

Earlier today, the IDF reported that a Givati Brigade commando was seriously wounded in a clash in northern Gaza, wounded by gunfire and evacuated for medical treatment at a hospital.

Meanwhile, Gaza City faced intense airstrikes from morning onward, with reports also noting a fire belt around Shati camp in western Gaza. Hospitals in the Strip reported 33 deaths from Israeli strikes since morning, including 28 in Gaza City.

The Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry claimed over 800,000 people remain in Gaza City, warning that attacks “will double the strain on hospitals.” It noted that Al-Shifa Hospital is expected to cease operations within hours due to a fuel shortage, jeopardizing the lives of 11 intensive care patients.

The ground offensive to take control of the city continues with renewed vigor, and Palestinians on Tuesday shared video of an IDF tank on Al-Shifa in the upscale Rimal neighborhood, where many towers still stand despite Israel’s pre-offensive bombings.

It’s not like this hasn’t been happening since the start of the war and every war preceding this one.

Initially I was going to wait for some more, but they included the literal drone footage of fire coming from the hospital.

Are people really going to keep defending these fucks?

Hamas terrorists opened fire on IDF forces from inside Gaza City's Al Shifa Hospital, with the military releasing footage to highlight the group's use of civilian sites as combat hubs. The IDF said Hamas is endangering patients and staff while vowing to keep operating under international law.

Fighting in Gaza City intensified, with heavy Israeli airstrikes and clashes reported. A Givati commando was seriously wounded, and earlier this week, IDF officer Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, 27, was killed by an anti-tank missile.

Gaza's Hamas controlled "Health Ministry" claimed dozens of casualties from strikes and warned Al-Shifa may shut down due to fuel shortages, putting ICU patients at risk.
